Just For Laughs launches online comedy initiative

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on February 3rd, 2007

Pardon our web-speak… it’s all the rage these days.

The folks at JFL are calling it a portal. (The “P-word” hasn’t been current for some time… but we think we know what they’re getting at.) Let them explain:

Each profile page will feature a short bio, along with at least one photo and most importantly, links to their current website, agent’s website, show dates, DVD’s for sale and any other links which they believe may help increase their exposure. In order to help us establish this portal and create a special page for your profile, we would like to ensure that you commit to uploading three to five performance or sketch clips (not purely promo reels) that can be shown to maximize your exposure. We ask that these clips be kept under two minutes. Please also keep us abreast of your touring schedule, TV appearances and the like. More content and contact with us ensures that you are included on rotation on our home page and possibly other pages to help deliver timely visibility. Please note that the artist owns their clips, they are not for download or sale by us from the site, nor do we ask for exclusivity. We will withdraw submitted clips at anytime the artist (or representative) asks, as well as delete your profile if you wish to terminate participation. This is to be your profile.

So… JFL invites all comics to allow them to submit vids, skeds, pics and such. FOS Paul Ash sent us word of the latest development. He says it’ll have “a structure similar to MySpace with elements of YouTube.” It’s at hahaha.com.
